Project management sounds like a straightforward gig, but it isn’t something just anyone can pick up and do effectively. There’s a whole set of terms, organizational skills, and general best practices that go into being a better manager, but if you take the time to learn them, they can put you on the path to a rewarding career.

If you’re interested in the field, StackSocial’s Project Management Certification Bundle is an opportunity to get started. Priced at $79, it includes six courses that aim to help beginners understand what goes into being a project manager.

It starts with an introduction to basic management principles, before heading into classes focused on working with a team, properly keeping track of resources, evaluating project risk, and working with specific types like engineers and business professionals. There’s more than 200 lessons in total, and along the way you’ll earn credits for an eventual PMI (that’s Project Management Institute) certification.

Per usual with these kind of bundles, you shouldn’t expect to be an expert in the field by the time you’re done here. What you can expect, though, is improved odds at turning a potential job into an actual one.
